The Boiling Crab - Washington DC

I've always been a big fan of the Boiling Crab wherever I can find the restaurant (except the one bad experience in downtown Sacramento, where they served frozen crawfish). This one in DC didn't disappoint. The take out food was fresh and flavorful (possibly even better dining in).

We found one clam like this in boiling crab take out order. The majority of the shrimp had a texture resembling mashed potatoes, indicating they were far from fresh. I know it’s hard to do business nowadays however food safety is of utmost importance, and incidents like this should be taken seriously.

Nearly 90% of the shrimps had a texture resembling mashed potatoes, suggesting they were not fresh, how such poorly prepared food could have passed inspection.

Always tasty! I'm always surprised how empty it is in here because it's so good, the service is great, and it's a great vibe the playlist is always on point like early 2000s top hits! My go to place for crab!

Every time I come in there's no one in there and I don't know why the food is so good. Was happy to see they got new alcoholic drinks which was very tasteful it was about 100 bucks for my family of 3 with fries and calamari but that's a typical price just for going to a normal night out anymore. Plus seafood is always pricy where ever you go. Anyways service was super good. Loved it will be back again!
